The Google Employee Who Opted For a Truck Over Bay Area Rents

I just saw this post on one of the tech websites I frequent. Thought y'all would find it interesting. And could maybe add some real world perspective.

Very interesting -thanks! I skimmed through his blog and because he wrote about his experiences from the very beginning it's possible to see how his ideas and perceptions changed over time. It'll be interesting to see if he follows through on his four year and beyond plan. I know that he doesn't spend much time in his truck but it would be more comfortable with a few more improvements like solar, some insulation and some type of food storage.

This was on Good Morning America this morning. Seems to me that more news like this would not necessarily be a good thing. Being on national TV doesn't seem like something one would do if they were concerned about stealth van living....

I agree.


Wonder if this is the kiss of death to his plans.

You can't be too stealth if EVERYBODY is watching you!!

can't say that I blame him with rents the way they are
